Suppose you want to check for earthquake danger before buying a new home. How can you check the regional geology for earthquake

danger? The actual building site? The home itself?

In order to check the regional geology for earthquake danger one should view fault and hazard maps of the area. A fault map shows the distribution of faults or fault zones in an area. A fault is a crack in the earth's surface along which movement occurs.

Hazard maps take into consideration the historic occurrences of earthquakes in the region and shows the probability of likely earthquakes in the region.
the actual building site can be assessed by using a soils map. Different soils react in different ways to seismic waves. The amplitude of seismic waves are either amplified or suppressed depending on the
type of soil or bedrock.
Homes showing signs of susceptibility to earthquakes often have cracks in the structure. These can be caused by minor quakes.

Female mosquitoes spread diseases when they bite humans to obtain blood. It is only
borishaifa [10]
Haven't done living environment in a few years, but the assumption should be "2) female offspring would be unable to bite humans, since they can't fly" and the method would be 3) biotechnology. The answer to "assumption questions" can usually be figured out by just reading the information given. Since its talking about FEMALE mosquitoes BITING HUMANS and spreading diseases, the second answer is most relevant. The second question requires you to understand the definitions of each answer choice (or atleast the correct one). The most relevant answers would be 2 and 3, as those refer to humans changing the characteristics of a species. However, again, referring to the information given, we know that the research being conducted is with the DNA of male mosquitoes being altered. This is not an example of selective breeding, but rather of biotechnology.

True of False: Hemoglobin releases the same amount of oxygen to all the tissues regardless of variations in their metabolic rate
Murljashka [212]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Hemoglobin can be defined as red protein that transports oxygen to various parts of the body according to its need.

It does not transports the same amount of oxygen to all the tissues. Some tissues of the body might require more more oxygen and some cells might require less amount of oxygen.

It depends on the state of activity. It transports more oxygen to the tissue that require it the most.

Example: The skeletal muscles of the body require more oxygen and it can be more than 80% .

Hence, the given statement is false and hemoglobin does not releases the same amount of oxygen to each and every tissue of the body.

What can stop climate change and restore the balance of CO2?
Temka [501]

Answer:

Power your home with renewable energy.  AND . Reducing the use of coal, oil and natural gas is clearly important, but it's not the only way to bring the carbon cycle into better balance

Explanation:

Another option is to speed up the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and then sequester the resulting carbon, thereby balancing out the CO2 from fuel combustion.
